Abstract
A fever detection system includes a temperature sensor; and a dog collar including a power source, an output device, and a processing circuit coupled to the power source and the output device. The processing circuit is configured to: periodically receive temperature measurements from the temperature sensor, based on the received temperature measurements, determine whether the received temperature measurements exceed a set temperature limit, and upon determining that the received temperature measurements exceed the set temperature limit, transmit a signal to the output device to activate a visual and/or auditory output indicating detection of a fever (including overheating).
Claims20
A fever detection system comprising:
- a temperature sensor;
- and
- a collar including a power source, an output device, and a processing circuit coupled to the power source and the output device, the processing circuit configured to:
- periodically receive temperature measurements from the temperature sensor;
- based on the received temperature measurements, determine whether the received temperature measurements exceed a set temperature limit;
- and
- upon determining that the received temperature measurements exceed the set temperature limit, transmit a signal to the output device to activate a visual and/or auditory output indicating detection of a fever.
The fever detection system of claim 6, wherein the collar is a prong collar and the position of the first housing and/or the second housing on the collar is adjustable.
A wearable device comprising:
- a temperature sensor;
- a heart rate sensor;
- an output device including a strobe light or high frequency noise generator;
- and
- a processing circuit coupled to the temperature sensor and the output device, the processing circuit configured to:
- receive temperature measurements from the temperature sensor;
- receive heart rate measurements from the heart rate sensor;
- based on the received temperature measurements and/or heart rate measurements, determine whether the received temperature and/or heart rate measurements exceed set limits;
- and
- upon determining that the received temperature and/or heart rate measurements exceed set limits, control the output device to output a visual output using the strobe light and/or a sound using the high frequency noise generator.
A method for detecting a fever in a dog, the method comprising:
- receiving temperature measurements from a temperature sensor included in a collar;
- based on the received temperature measurements, determining whether the received temperature measurements exceed a set temperature limit;
- upon determining that the received temperature measurements exceed the set temperature limit, activating a visual and/or auditory output on the collar to indicate detection of a fever.
A dog collar comprising:
- a temperature sensor;
- communication circuitry;
- an output device configured to output a visual output and/or sound;
- and
- a processing circuit coupled to the temperature sensor, the output device, and the communication circuitry, the processing circuit configured to:
- receive temperature measurements from the temperature sensor;
- based on the received temperature measurements, determine whether the received temperature measurements exceed a first limit;
- based on the received temperature measurements, determine whether the received temperature measurements exceed a second limit higher than the first limit;
- upon determining that the received temperature measurements exceed the second limit, control the output device to output a first visual output and/or a first sound;
- and
- upon determining that the received temperature measurements exceed the second limit, (1) control the output device to output a second visual output and/or a second sound, and (2) transmit, via the communication circuitry, a notification to a mobile device.
